I come back to this video every now and again. It speaks to some deep part of me, in words that I can't find.

1:48 I love how he asked Matt how far up they'd have to build the horse stack and he just raises his hand away like "No more please..spare me of this"

Was Brennan playing Bolo in this one?

Matt never recovered and lost control of the entire session. MArisha and Brennan utterly broke him

No one's talking about Sam's subtle "measure in hands" pun.

Idea: pat rothfuss will have and easier time writing if we stop giving him crap and encourage him to play MORE dnd with Brennan

Came back to watch this after Brennan referenced it in his recent interview with Hank Green; with the context from that interview it becomes even more profound.

The moment it was no longer a bit was. "we should really break this down. Because it for sure gonna happen." Brennan was basically saying. "Matt. I'm not sorry."

i feel like this scene is missing that somewhat iconic tallison jaffe laughter. you know, the one you hear after "thats fair", "they were peoples canes and things" or "and it was the metric system"

This is what God intended horses for. That's why they're shaped like that.

Brennan is a gift to the world, Matt needs to get him on the next campaign, like how he did with Robbie

This makes me want to see Saige Ryan in the D20 dome

Matt hand waving is him begging for mercy for a brief moment and it’s hilarious

I just love Matt cracking up for a whole fucking minute. Absolutely broken for a minute. And the fit would probably had continue if Sam hadn't called him out with a ruling.

Aabria losing her mind is so real

Rare they break Matt this hard

I'm back here after watching Mercer break BG3 by stacking 45 crates to get over a rampart. Well played, sir.

I love this so much because his answer has a bit of a preamble where he's interrogating the question of "Why?" and I for sure thought on some level he was just leading to an answer of "Why not?" or something like that, something just implying that there doesn't need to be a reason because it doesn't matter that much... but for him to come back with "For me, my care for these people is primary," just broke me instantly. I should've known Brennan would never give a flippant rhetorical answer suggesting that whether or not you care doesn't matter.

I'm coming back here cuz I was thinking about this bit for some reasons and man this is as hilarious as ever. My favorite thing is Brennan carrying on with the utmost seriousness in the world, looking at Matt straight in the eyes while the man is literally DYING from laughter. He really wanted to finish him 🤣

POV: You got recommended the Brennan Calamity Ending video, and now you're searching for "Brennan making people cry".

I love at 0:37 Brennan just commits to the bit.

'are you trying to break the physics engine?' matt, you ARE the physics engine, and it worked.

Alex plays Broken Edelweiss to summon Ed the horse. I hear what you did there.

Brennan’s improvisation abilities are unparalleled

I was so expecting the horse to spawn on top and just fall awkwardly and both horses just break all their limbs.

POV: My last 5 braincells trying to worm me out of the consequences of my own actions at 3am.

Hold on, so when you summon horses in D&D, they . . . fall from the sky??? Like real fast, fully formed?

Okay, Krystina asking which way the horses should be stacked is also criminally underrated

Thanks for isolating this genius moment

Watching Brennan workshop this bit in real-time, delightful. You can see the moment where he goes oh Matt thinks this is funny. How far can I push the joke. 😂😂

the rhythm of “i wonder if we can stack our horses on top of each other if we summon them strategically” has been stuck in my head since i watched live it’s INCREDIBLE

this is just elder scrolls

Matt doing the summoning stack sound effect at 4:11 is way too hilarious! *Horse 1: Dude, WTF?* *Horse 2: I know right?*

“everybody in all seriousness we should start a troupe”

It’s Sams “I could stack three wolves on top” that really takes the cake for me

1:39 is we’re Brennan realizes it’s not just a bit but an actual plan Marisha is trying to pull off

I like how they just do the horse stack when it’s much easier to summon a giraffe. But hell, it’s dnd, all logic and critical thinking is thrown out the window lololol

WAIT... BOLO??

I've watched this multiple times and only just realized that if this is how horse summons worked then summoning just your horse would mean you get flattened when it falls on top of you

Fuck, i've only seen the short so I didn't know they actually went through with it😆 The fact that all of them ran with it is amazing. Also, Matt losing his shit is wonderful.

I love Sam asking for clarification and Matt, cackling half to death is just waving his hand, like “please I need time to recoup”

I love how they accurately predicted that speedrunners would use horses to clear gaps they coudn't clear yet. Not through stacking them sadly, but still.

I want to see this animated so badly

I do not know why, but I really love the way Marisha says "strategically"

So Marisha should've summoned Supernova first if Ed needed to be on the base of the 3 horse stack. The critical role team are definitely novice horse stackers. Surprised Brennan, being the consummate horse-stacking professional didn't pick up on this obvious issue ...

Is there an elden ring mod for horse ladders

If that line had been said in any popular TV show it would have shaken through the nerd world like an earthquake and Mossbrow would have instantly become one of the most beloved characters around. I know for some this is just basic ethics 101 but the way Mossbrow says it just exemplifies the utter purity of goodness in him, what a profoundly moving statement that says everything you need to know about how this character thinks. Goddammit Brennan.

i was doing so well holding it in to not wake my neighbors but then sam comes in from behind " if we're short, i can stack three wolfs on top." 🤣

I love Brennan.
